Ok, this a long rant, but I just need to warn anyone else looking to buy this monitor. It’s the worst piece of garbage I’ve ever owned. If you’re thinking about buy one, just don’t. Pretty much anything else you can get your hands on is better. tl;dr On paper, it’s a pretty decent monitor. It’s a regular 23″ monitor with 2x HDMI input and one VGA. It seemed …
Since we started WireLoad, the number of websites we host have grown steadily. It’s a myriad of sites, ranging from product sites to websites belonging to friends and family. Many of them are WordPress-sites (just like this one), while others are more complicated. Some use databases, while others don’t. Since we’re often in a rush when we set up a site, …
I’m astonished by the amount of traction we’ve been seeing for Screenly. The Open Source-version is growing rapidly in traction, while the wait-list for the Pro-version is growing. Given the amount of traction, we’ve now allocated more resources from WireLoad towards Screenly. The first priority right now is a cleanup of the code base and to improve the user …
There’s no doubt that virtualization and the cloud is here to stay. So you migrated your entire architecture to the cloud and everyone is happy. Eventually, you’ll come to a point where you start decommission servers. If this was an on-premise server, all you had to do was to powered it off and perhaps put it to use elsewhere (or if virtualized, simply …
I’m a long-time fan of Axis’ IP cameras. I’ve played with a few other IP cameras too, but I’ve never come across a camera with the performance and stability of Axis’ products. Recently I deployed two Axis M1114-cameras. It’s an impressive device with built in motion sensor (that can record to a SMB or FTP) with Power over Ethernet (PoE). The optics in the …
Rack-servers make your life easier. They allow you to stack a bunch of servers into a small area while still keeping them well organized. Unfortunately, most server-vendors know this, and will charge you an arm and a leg for them. I recently had to build up a small virtualization-farm, and I really wanted to keep all server in a rack without having to spend …
Yesterday I delivered a speech at the gSocial. If you haven’t heard of gSocial, it is the largest independent event for the Google Apps Channel Community. My talk was about email migration, and what we have learned since launching YippieMove back in 2008.
A while ago I started hacking on Screenly, a digital signage solution for the Raspberry Pi. It has been a huge success with a lot of traction from the Raspberry Pi community. The open source edition of Screenly (a.k.a. Screenly OSE) is an excellent tool if you want to setup a single sign. All you need is a Raspberry Pi ($35), some cables, and a monitor. You …
gSocial is a conference for Google Apps resellers and ISVs. I attended the event last year, and I was really impressed. I’m back for the conference this year, but I will aslo be giving a talk. My talk will be on the topic of email migration and what we’ve learned over the years working with YippieMove. The event also happens to have great timing, since we …
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by SCU‘s Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE). Apparently I was mentioned in Santa Clara Magazine about being featured on TechCrunch. CIE wanted me to write an article about my background and my experience as an entrepreneur. I was happy to share that with them, and the article went live today.
A few months back I wrote csconnect to make it easier for myself to logon to our Cloud Sigma-nodes. It’s a pretty simple application. All it does is to poll Cloud Sigma’s API and lookup the IPs for the node(s) specified. Yet, since this was one of the first Python-programs I ever wrote (beyond Hello World), the state of the code was pretty terrible. Last …
